Whon for me tho silent oar
Parts the Silent llivev,
And I stand upon the shore
Os the strange Forever,
- Shall I miss tho loved and known ?
Shall I vainly seek mine own?
Mid tho crowd that come to meet
Spirits sin-forgiven—
Listening to tho echoing feet
Down tho streets of Heaven—
Shall I know a footstep near,
That I liston, wait for, here?
Then will one approach tho brink
With a hand extended—
One whoso thoughts I loved to think
lire tho vail was ronded.
Saying, “Weloome 1 wo have died,
And again aro sido by sido.”
Saying, “I will go with thee,
That thou bo not lonely,
To yon hills of mystery ;
I hove waited only
Until now, to climb with thcc
Yonder hills of mystery.”
Can tho bonds that make ns boro
Know ourselves immortal,
Drop away, like foliage sear,
At life's inner portal ?
What is holiest below
Nfust forever live and glow,
I shall lovo the angels well,
After I have found them
In tho mansions where they dwell, -
With the glory ruund them;
Butpt first without surprise,
Let me look in human eyes.
Step by stop our feet must go
Up the holy mountain j
Drop by drop within us flow
Life’s unfailing fountain.
Angels sing with crowns that burn ;
We shall have song to learn.
He who on our earthly path
Bids us help each other—
Who his Well'Beloved hath
Made our Elder Brother—
Will but clasp the chain of lovo
Closer when v.e meet above.
Therefore dread I not to go
O’er the Silent River,
Death, thy hastening o&r I know ;
Bear me, th tu Life-giver,
Through the outers, to the shore
Whore mine own have gone before.

Grant nnd lli« African Minister.
Tho Now York World refers in n tone of
ridicule to tho tribulations in whien tho Presi
dent has managed to involve himself since lie
came into oflico. It recapitulates tho late in
flictions lie hna been compelled to bear from
tho Boston people, nnd nays they nro slight
annoyances compared with tho dilemma ho
will find awaiting him on his return to Wash
ington about his appointment of black Mr.
Bassett to ITayti. It says that Bassett was
appointed under the impression that it would
gratify his Rndical friends, or at least stop
their mouths by putting their principles into
practice ; and thinks that there was a practical
justice in sending liassett to a Salnavo. .But
it seoms that tho white cHlachcs and white
counsels over whom Bassett has boon Rent to
preside will decline to take his orders, and it
will thereforo l>o necessary for tho President
to remove them all and supply colored substi
tutes, as was the practice of the patriots of
Massachusetts during tho war. It secs no
reason to repine at this, for though the num
ber of persons to bo appointed is not great, it
must be greater than tho number of Radical
negroes who know how to read and write.—
But, all this accomplished, tho World thinks
his troubles will only havo begun ; for the
officers of tho navy whose necessities take
them to Port an Prince, are imbued with what
Mr. Sumner called the accursed spirit of
caste, and will not recognize the existence of
the black and blighted Bassett, and it will
be necessary for the YVest India squadron to
he supplied with black officers. It thinks
Boric will be fully equal to his task. And
hero comes another complication. The United
States Minister is tho ranking member of the
Diplomatic Corps residing near tho Court of
Salnave, and tho European members of this
corps are poor whites who willjobjeet to serv
ing with any subordination to a negro, and
lionce European Governments must remove
mutinous Caucasians and supply their place*
with Congoes. But the end is not yet reach
ed. For, says the WorlJ, Salnave himself
objects to tho mission of colored citizens to
him. It says:
“It is most absurd on the part of Silnave
hut it cannot bo helped. Here is indeed a
modus. We cannot, we will not, we must not
give up our black Bassett. We must, there
fore, in defense of our great principle, depose
Salnavo ar.d put in one of his competitors who
will ho more amenable to the claims of justice.
Wo might, indeed, bribe Salnavo with anew
red shirt to forego his opposition, r.nd take the
obnoxious Bassett to his bosom. But wo leave
it to Senator Sumner whether it would not
derogate front our dignity as a great nation
thus to sue as for a favor for what we ought to
demand as a right.
What extrication is there for our poor Pres
ident from this hobble? There is, indeed, one
cuirso open to him, by which he could avoid
all the disagreeable consequences which wo
have pointed out ns the logical results of his
present course, That course is to recall Bas
sett, in defiance of Sumner’s great principle
and of the claims of humanity, to confess that
the prejudices of tho world aro things which a
government can neitlier ignore or cjtirpnte,
and to own that he, the President, has blun
dered.- ’
Free Tuition in the State University.
We have received a Circular from Prof. W.
11. Waddell, of the University of Georgia, on
the subject of free tuition in that Institution,
from which wo gather the following informa
tion :
Tho Trustees having authorized the Faculty
to admit, without payment of tuition fees,
meritorious young men, of limited means, they
propose to increase the number of beneficiaries
to fifty. There are now, as such, in attendance
at the" University, under appointment of the
Faculty, twenty seven students. These ap
pointments are intendod to bo limited to resi
dents of the State, who are not themselves,
and whose parents aro not, in a situation to
incur the expenses of their education a, the
University, without aid. Students thus ap
pointed stand, in all respects, except expense,
as others, enjoying equal privileges, and sub
ject to the same laws. Asa remuneration to
the State, they will be expected to engage in
teaching in a public or private school, in Geor
gia, for a term of years equal to the time they
may have enjoyed the advantages of instruction
at the University. The. term of appointment
expires at tho close of tho Collegiate year,
with those who fail to exhibit due diligence,
but those who give evitLcnco of capacity and
industry will be permitted to rencrou until the
regular course is compfletcd. The applicant
for appointment should forward testimonials
of good moral character, and of capacity to
profit by the instruction at the University;
stating his age (which must bo at least six
teen,) and his residence, with a full report of
the subjects that havo been studied by him.
It'must also he shown that neither ho nor his
parents are ab!o, without aid, to incur the
expense of his education. Next season thcie
will ho forty vaeaneios, which the I acuity will
fill, by appointment, on the Gth of August.
Only one will bo appointed from a county.
There are no vacancies from the following
counties : Bibb, Clarke, Cobh, Fulton, Jeffer

plications must bc'sent in before the Gib of

How n Pretty Quakeress Creates u Sensa
tion.
Tho Columbus, Ohio, Journal has the fol
lowing:
A beautiful young lady dressed as a Quaker
ess, entered tho office of a prominent railroad
official, yesterday, and asked for a pass over
tho road, good for one month. Slio stated that
she. was engaged in missionary work, and that
she expected to do much good. The peculiar
character of the work was explained, and, ask
ing the young lady to be seated, tho gentleman
proceeded to fill out a pass as requested. This
was handed her, hut, stating that sho could
not read, she handed it baok. The gentleman
read aloud the pass—allowing her to go to any
point on tho whole line of road at any time
within one month from date. Tho lady, to his
surprise, dropped on her knees and prayed
earnestly for some minutes. Tho act did not
surprise lam as much as her sweet tone and
beautiful language. Most beautiful thoughts
were expressed in well chosen words, and the
woman seemed to yield to tho spirit of the mo
ment. In her own language tho spirit moved
her to thank God fur putting so good a man
in such a piaoo. Sho said she had been an
idle, frivolous girl, disposed to ignore the
teachings and customs of her people, but that,
uneducated as she was, she had devoted her
self to a good work, and had accomplished
much, nnd hoped to accomplish much more.
This is the incident as it occurred. Bo tho
woman whom she may, she produced quite an
excitement in places where generally there is
too much htisiuess for anything in the romantic
way.

Modes of "Walking.
Observing persons movo slow ; their heads
move alternately from sido to side, while they
occasionally stop and turn around.
Careful people lift their feet high and place
them down and pick up some little obstruction
and place it down quietly by the side of the
way.
Calculating persons generally walk with
their hands in their pockets and their heads
slightly inclined.
Modest persons generally step softly, for
fear of being observed.
Timid persons often step off from a side
walk on meeting another, and always go
around a stone instead of stopping over it.
Wide-awake persuntPßoG out,'’ nud havo a
long swing to tlieir arms, while their hands
move about miscellaneously.
Careless persons are forever stubbing their
toes.
Lazy persons scrapo about loosely with
their heels, and ar-o first on ono sido of tho
walk and then on the other.
Very strong minded persons have their toes
directly in front of them, and havo a kind of
stamp movement.
Unstable persons walk fast and slow by
turns.
Y r cnturous persons try all roads, frequently
climb the fences instead of going through the
gate and never- lot down a bar.
One idea persons, and also very selfish ones
‘toe in.’
Cross persons are very apt to hit their knees
together.
Good naturod people snap their thumb und

Fun loving persons havo a kind of jig move

No mind so bright but drink will befool it;
no fortune so ample but brandy will beggar
it ; the happiest it will fill with misery ; the
firmest health dissipation will shatter; no bu

An Amusing Scene i:i a Theatre. .
The occasion was the benefit night of Mrs.
Phillips. That lady was playing Jane Shore,
in Maturin's tragedy of that name. Tho houso
—and tho Front street Theater is a largo ono
—was crowded. In tho first tier, on ono side,
in a front soatof tho box adjoining tho prosce
nium, was conspicuous tho burly form of a
sailor, with a large rod face. Ho was well
known to many of tho audienco as Captain
Hugg, the prosperous owner and master of an
Eastern Shore oyster sehoonor. He was watch
ing the play with intense interest and feeling,
as was manifost from the tears that coursed
down his weather beaten cheeks. Ho also
frequently placed his right hand nervously
upon his left breast; but whether this action
had any connection with his sympathy for tho
heroine of the play, or was too result of pru
dent concern for the wallet full of Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad shinplasters ho was known to
carry in that region, the sequel will show.
It is proper to state boro, that, although tho
date of theso occurrences was long after tho
money panio of 1837 (known as tho “ shin
plaster era”) had subsided, and thc'banks had
fully resumed spocio payments, yet
more Sc Ohio Railroad Company, by some
financial legerdemain, kept tho oountry flooded
with Its one and two dollar hills, which were
almost tho only currency used in tho smaller
trade transactions of the city.
The play had proceeded to the scene in tho
last aot, whero Shore's beauteous wife (lato
the omnipotent mistress of Edward tho Fourth,
but now, by Oloster’s cruel edict, an outcast
wanderer in tho streets, with none to give her
food ov aholter) coino3 upon tho stage, uttors a
heart-reading monologue, and falls exhausted
with starvation and fatigue, to the ground.
As the accomplished actress proceeded in tho
melting relation of her woes tho andionca’
wore so rapt by her beauty and misfortunes
that but few of thorn observed the demonstra
tions of Captain Tlugg's passion. That gal
lant son of Neptune rose slowly to his feet
convulsed with the throes of a mighty sympa
thy, and, with tearful eyes and hated breath,
listened to Jane’s pitiful story, when, at
length, she dropped to tho ground, soemingly
in tho last extremity of exhausted nature, tho
Captain’s compassion reached its climax. 110
sjtrang from Uio box to the stage, rushed to tho
actress, hent over her prostrate form, jerked
from his poc"ket his capacious wallet, tore it
open with trembling-fingers, exposing to view
its piled up treasure, and exclaimed, in a voic*
choked with sobs and tremulous with unfeigri 1
ed emotion—
“ Look up, Mistress Shore, look up ! By
C—d, madamc, you shan’t starve while I’ve a
Baltimore and Chio Railroad sbinplastcr in'
my pocket-book.”
What followed heggars description. For a
moment the vast audience remained bushel,
as if from involuntary admiration of the big
hearted sailor’s generosity nnd gallantry.—
Then, ns the ludicrousness of tho soono seemed
to flash suddenly upon them, there amso such
a clamor of stamping feet, clapping hands,
pounding of canes, shouts, roars, yells, shrieks
and screams of laughter, as never boforo or
since shook the walls of atiy theatre.'
In the midst of tho uproar manager Wcmyw
made his appearance, politely explained to tho*
Captain that Mistress Shore’s wants would be
duly ministered to, and succeeded in leading
him off the stage.
Several ineffectual attempts were made to
proceed with the tragedy, hut tho audience
was too thoroughly imbued with the mirth
occasioned by the sailor’s illusion to sottlo
down to anything serious. Each attempt of
Mrs. Shoro to regain their lost attention was
only greeted with renewod convulsions of
laughter and cries for Captain Hugg. Tho
shrewd manager only succeeded in roftoring
a semblance of order by starting the orchestra
in full blast and “ringing on” tho ballet, after
which a roaring farce was tolerated. —[From
